erik I heard. My idiot friends who watch movies for babies all told me that I’d be thrilled to see the trailer. They were not wrong. Jim Cameron has never been more needed in the cinema. Cannot wait to see this.

    A three hour long playstation cut scene from the storytelling pen of James Cameron?

    S to the werve.

      First one was Dances With Wolves, this one is Waterworld, the next one is… Tin Cup? They all take up golf?

      Not at all shocked by Stu. However I expected better from Amps. Not only is Avatar 2 going to be absolutely stunning but it will also display perfect politics.

      Amps Quality, really well done

      Here’s the full thing….

        Millsy Absolutely agree – I remember when the first one came out Cameron was dead excited about all the techniques that the actors used, hooking themselves up to all these wires and the like to capture their movements properly. That’s great however the end product still looks like a video game

            I think the technical term is motion capture Sneds.

            This is Steven Spielberg signing out.

            Avatar 2 trailer got 184,000,000 views online in one day. Ya’ll best be ready to swallow Jim’s dick and balls whole, because he is absolutely going to do it again, folks! Yes, Avatars 2, 3, and 4 are all coming, just like he said they would, and they are going to elevate humanity to a new enlightened reality

            nicksneddon the end product still looks like a video game

            And, I am sorry, but wassup? Have you seen the fucking muck that MCU and Star Wars put out? You clap like a fucking circus seal while the most flat fucking shit ever sluffs across the screen. Even on the fucking iphone, Avatar 2 looks infinitely better than anything Marvel has ever vomited into an iMax. This new Cameron masterpiece is intended to be viewed at a frame rate that will cause some to experience epileptic fits. Get on board now lads. A new world is dawning, and if you spend too much of your time being a capping naysayer human meme then you will find the doors of Pandora SHUT when you try to come a knockin’!

                zackster I can’t even tell if you’re joking anymore. That reads EXACTLY like a Snyder-fanboy post, so kudos.

                  where Jim Cameron is concerned I am as serious a T-1000 attack. He does not fail, period. Everyone was in the lols when he said “I am making three more Avatar movies” 15 years ago, or whenever, but now the reckoning has come! James Cameron is in reality what Elon Musk can only play at being.

                  I’m a fan of Nick’s recommendations on here, but “you clap like a fucking circus seal” is poetry Zackster. Lol.

                  Also, I haven’t watched avatar and never will. Blue goblins flying around isn’t my scene.

                  Did watch T2 a couple months back, and that’s still boss.

                  No disrespect to Nick. Top lad. Had to use him as an example for besmirching the American Napoleon, James Cameron, is all.

                    Jimmy Cameron is will be well envious of this groundbreaking CGI.

                    nicksneddon so did I. Then I rewatched it after many years and realized that it was unironically amazing.

                      8 days later

                      alistair the star wars ‘fans’ are already out in force (pun intended) complaining about the black, female character and saying she should be removed.

                      Ffs

                          Wally she looked badass in the trailer. Out in force lol

                            Andor trailer looks ace, mostly due to them having some serious talent in front of the camera for it.

                            Stellan Skarsgård & Fiona Shaw on a Star Wars-show? Okay then.

                              Homegrove FFS, nobody at Disney knows how to light a scene, most of it looks like it was shot on fuckin Ramsey Street with a similar budget.

                              For the sake of art they need to do a KLF and delete their back catalogue.

                                  I enjoyed the two Obi-Wan episodes. Very prequels stylistically, but that should not have been a surprise.

                                  Thought it was alright. Better than the tripe served up by TBOBF and the majority of Mando.

                                  I don’t mind the dour tone given the time period it’s set and there’s an actual story to it and the Obi-Wan / Leia sections had some nice moments to it with her giving him sass. There’s even quite a touching moment when Obi-Wan remembers Padme’. There’s a notable lack of member berries thrust into the background of every scene in a lame attempt to stimulate the nostaliga glands and compensate for a lack of story. You would think it’s because the titular character is a walking member berry but that didn’t stop them with TBOBF.

                                  The editing in this and the others is still quite poor though. There’s no intro and outro to some scenes (with a side order of assuming people have watched the clone wars / rebels and such like) in places which makes it feel like it’s rushing through and the vfx is noticeably lower quality than the movies and I’m not really convinced by Moses Ingram’s performance as the baddie (which is a surprise as she’s great in The Queens Gambit)

                                  Neither brilliant or crap. Reasonably entertaining so far.

                                    Wally Is there any Vader yet? The main reason I’d tune in TBH

                                        alistair More of a set up for what is clearly going to be the big finale of the show. Tbf to the writers they did something with Obi-wan / Vader that seems obvious in retrospect that I never even considered with the second episode.

                                            Wally ditto on the reveal at the end of episode two. Also never really considered that nothing in the rest of the Star Wars-universe explains how Leia knew Obi-Wan. So in hindsight the plot they have for this show seems obvious.

                                              First 2 episodes are great, some nice touches throughout
